Distance education fills engineering program needs

Most of us have the problem of not being able
to be in two places ;•!. the same time — but not
Ned VVeckmusller. Weckmueller associate
professor in UW-Stout's industrial management
departn lent . pioneered a cooperative distance education
program between UW-Stout and UW-Platteville in
which he taught an engineering class to students at
Stout and was, at the same time, teaching Plarteville
students who saw Mm on a 7 1-inch TV screen.

His efforts were part of a distance education
cooperative agreement bctwce.i the two universities,
which were the joint recipients of a UW System grant to
set up the program. With the grant, similar faculties
were established at both locations, and engineering
courses began to be transmitted in January 1995.
This two-way education is made possible by screens

and cameras at both schools. Each school has a 71-inch
TV screen (monitor) and document cameras (ceiling-
mounted video cameras). The instructor wears infrared
tracking on both the front and back so that the camera
can follow movements.

Last semester, as part of the cooperative agreement,
Plarteville delivered two engineering courses to Stout.
Joanne Wilson, Platteville's associate dean of the
College of Engineering, and Asama Jadaan, of that
department, both taught Mechanics of Materials; and
Platteville's Joto Krogman taught Statics while
Weckmueller taught Engineering Economy.

"This system serves two useful purposes," said Pete
Heirndahl, associate dean of the School of Industry and
T cchnology . "1 t provides s way for Platteville to provide
key engineering courses to o.ir students while we at

Stout are putting our engineering faculty together. In
addition, it supports ourpre-engineering agreement with
Platteville in which students may take the first two years
of the engineering curriculum at one university and
finish at the other. Courses which Platteville requires
in its first two years, but not offered at Stout, are
conducted by distance education and vice versa."

One UW-Stout student took the Statics course in
this mode last semester. He will transfer to Platteville
this fall to complete his studies in mechanical engineering.

The program will continue this fall with Platteville
teaching a section of Mechanics of Materials and one of
Statics to Stout students, and Stout again sending
Engineering Economy to Platteville. Weckmueller will
resumehis role, teachingin two locations simultaneously.

"It provides a way

for Platteville to

provide key

engineering courses

to our students

while we at Stout

are putting our

engineering faculty

together."

UW-Stout courses offered through America Online

Students anywhere in the country are now able to take
selected courses at UW-Stout in the comfort of their
own home, thanks to computer technology and a
commitment to new course delivery systems.

UW-Stout and the Electronic University Network
are offering courses through America Online, making
them available to virtually anyone with a home
computer. Participants are provided with America
Online's latest software in DOS, Windows or Mac
formats to match their equipment

Christopher Smith, outreach program manager in
UW-Stout's Office of Continuing Education/
Extension, developed the service used for the first time
last spring. Assistantprofessor Carole Elint and lecturer
Susanne Johnston, both from UW-Stout's English
department, were the first instructors to teach on the
university's new "virtual" campus on America Online.
They teach technical writing to students as far away as
St. Louis.

"This is an ideal medium for this type of course,"
said Flint, who has taught technical writing at UW-
Stout for 20 years. "Each week students check their
electronic maiLpostresponses to folders inour bulletin
board environment and send us assignments in attached
files," she said.

"Students who participate onlinetend to get a great
deal more personal interaction with faculty," Johnston
noted. "They get personal responses to their messages
within hours of posting." Johnston and Flint agree,
however, that the personal interaction also leads to
more work for instructors than usual in typical
classroom settings.

"This is just the beginning for exciting new ways
of delivering instruction in the information age," Smith
said. "Outreach managers have dreamed of the day
when it would be cost effective to provide courses to
people bound by place and time, unable to attend
classes without leaving their home communities and
jobs." He added that because of such programs, people
in a variety of fields will be able to update their skills
withoutdisruptingtheir careers orfamilies. "Individuals
across the country, now choosing not to access
university campuses because of distance, disability or
family obligations, can now take courses using their
modem-equipped computer to participate in classes,"
he said. "Online students meet with their instructors in
real time, socialize with other students, and obtain

A instructional resources

using the electronic
" Conferencing facilities of

the Electronic University
Network and America
Online."

Smith said he has been
pleased with the response
for classes planned for the
fall. "Registration is still
open," he said. "We are
certain that, as more people
learn about the availability
of courses online, enroll-
ments will grow."

"Taking courses beyond
the campus is not new in
itself," Smith said. "We
have been sending
instructors to distant
locations for many years,
and using new technologies
to extend the university's
reach as they become
available and financially
feasible. But here, through
the use of home computers,
neithertheinstructornorthe
student is burdened by
frequent or lengthy travel to classrooms or downlink
sites."

Smith said the university extension office is
expanding its online offerings quickly. Full degree
programs are anticipated. Non-credit in-service
training offerings are also being delivered online for
employees of state agencies using the Office of
Continuing Education/Extension's new Education
Bulletin Board Server.

Students who are interested in learning more
about the current course offerings also have online
access to information about the university. An
unexpected result has been numerous inquiries about
UW-Stout's traditionally delivered graduate
programs.

Persons who want more information may contact
Smith at 715/232-2693.

The ultimate tool

Technology transfer program will use supercomputer to aid manufacturers

UW-Stout's widely recognized manufacturing
technology transfer program has received the "ultimate
tool," with the announced purchase of a Cray
supercomputer.

The J-916 computer is being purchased through a
partnership between Stout and Phillips Plastics
Corporation, Chippewa Valley Technical College, Cray
Research and the Wisconsin Department of
Development. DOD has awarded the university an initial
grant of $500,000, Phillips will provide an additional
$100,000 in support, and Cray Research has pledged a
product discount and technical assistance.

The unit will be housed in the Stout Technology Park
atthe Origen Center, aresearchanddevelopmentfacility

owned by the Origen Group, an affiliate of Phillips
Plastics. The computer will be used to serve small to
midsize manufacturers in product design analysis and
manufacturing problem-solving simulations. It will be
linked to the Stout campus where it will be used by
students and faculty in programs such as manufacturing
engineering, applied math, and physics.

"This is symbolic," said Chancellor Charles W.
Sorensen. "It shows that a school our size can be in the
forefront of manufacturing technology, that business
doesn't have to look to the big, major universities." The
chancellor pointed out that the acquisition supports the
university'slong-standing technology transferprogram,
through which dozens of small companies have been

assisted in re-tooling with the latest manufacturing
technology.

Bob Cervenka, CEO at Phillips, said at a press
conference announcing the purchase, that the computer
is "the ultimate tool" for simulated manufacturing
processes. He noted that the Cray computer could do in
five minutes what would take other computer systems
up to 27 hours to do.

During the next five years, about 450 companies are
expected to be served through the computer. The project
will leverage more than $5 million in private and other
public funds.

ilitary mobilization

Project will strengthen apparel industry,

UW-Stout's department of apparel, textiles and design
is the recipient of a Defense Logistics Agency contract
to assist in developing a plan to strengthen U.S. apparel
manufacturing as well as serve the United States military .
The contract was awarded on the basis of a proposal
written by Donna Albrecht and Jacquelene Robeck,
professors in the department.

"A strong U.S. apparel industry is important for
military mobilization as well as for providing a faster
response to military ongoing special clothing needs," an
Army spokesperson said, adding that "the goal is having
the right product in the right place at the right time — at
a competitive value."

To achieve this goal, the Department of Defense
selected 24 agencies in the country as Apparel Research

aid military

Network (ARN) partners, one of which is UW-Stout.

The net contract is $50,000 for the first year and
$50,000for the next two consecutive years. Thepurpose
of the initial three-year contract, according to Albrecht,
is to develop a "roadmap" of projects for the next seven
years that will strengthen the U. S. apparel manufacturing
industry.

"The objective is to reduce the number of dress
uniform orders treated as 'special measurement,'"
Allirecht said. "This will be possible by using existing
CAD (computer niilrd design) technology to make
available, by special order, sizes beyond the current size
tariff as well as commonly needed alterations which are
impossible to accomplish after the garment is made."

Albrecht said that computer technology makes it

possible for extensions of the size tariff and variations of
the standard pattern to be resident on computer for
access whenever needed. This saves the cost of repeating
the same pattern alterations.

"This speeds the process of producing the majority of
out-of-tariff (unusual size) uniforms which do notrequire
individually sized patterns," Albrecht said.

Theproject will extend electronic grade rule tables of
the U.S. Army dress uniform components to the limit of
larger and smaller sizes determined necessary* by
historical data, according to Albrecht.

"Computer integration is the key to strengthening the
apparel industry," Albrecht said. "Currently, CAD
systems are the most favorably received and well
developed."

"Computer

integration

is the key to

strengthening

the apparel

industry."

Home Economics school renamed

New name reflects evolution of the discipline

Home economics — cooking and sewing — right?
What a difference a century makes. What was once
Stout' s Training School for Domestic Science Teachers
evolved into the School of Home Economics, and has
now, by recent action of the UW System Board of
Regents, been renamed the School of Human
Environmental Sciences.

"A primary purpose of that (first) unit was to prepare
home economics teachers," Esther Fahm, dean of the
school, said. Today there are many specialized degree
program offerings which lead to avariety of professions.

Programs lead to professional careers in business,
industry, education, and community and government
agencies. Programs are science-based and integrate the
social, biological, natural, developmental andmanagerial
scienresformepurposeofknprovingthe human condition
and the quality of life and service, according to Fahm,
and so the name — Human Environmental Sciences.

"This new name reflects the evolution and
development of our professional field of study in higher
education," Fahm said. "It builds upon the rich tradition
of disciplines that our school has historically offered."

Provost George DePuy said he did a study of 19
similar schools around the country, and only six still
maintain the term "home economics" in their name.

"This name change, from Home Economics to
Human Environmental Sciences, reflects the fact that
the discipline that was called home economics has
evolved far beyond its original definition," DePuy said.
"Most other schools of home economics at other
universities have already changed their names."

Other universities using the name human
environmental sciences include University of Alabama,
University of Arkansas, East Carolina University,
University of Kentucky, University of Missouri-

Columbia, University of North Carolina-Greensboro
and Oklahoma State University.

"The administrative team, faculty, staff and students
join me in announcing with esteem this new era of
development in our field at UW-Stout," Fahm said.
"The name change is amomentpus eventf or our school."

"This new name reflects the evolution

and development of our professional field

of study in higher education.

It builds upon the rich tradition of disciplines

that our school has historically offered."

The recent name change has raised a number
of questions from alumni of the School of
Home Economics. The following questions
are the two most commonly asked, with
answers from Esther Fahm, Dean of the
School of Human Environmental Sciences.

Q: What professional titles will graduates from the School of Human
Environmental Sciences use?

A: Individual professional titles may be determined in many ways. However,
for years our graduates have frequently used their area of specialization,
certification and/or occupational roles as professional titles. Graduates have
called themselves dietitians, appareldesigners,hotelmanagers and early childhood
teachers. Our graduates will continue to utilize such titles.

Family and Consumer Educational Services is the general degree program
within our school. Human Environmental Sciences serves as an "umbrella"
descriptor of the academic programs array and focus of our unit as a whole and
not necessarily the professional title for graduates.

Q: Since the profession adopted the name "Family and Consumer
Sciences," why did the school not adopt the same name?

A: At UW-Stout, a major goal of the name change was to reflect the focus and
evolution of academic programs that have already occurred within the school,
and to position the unit for the 21st century in an increasingly complex society
andhigher education environment. Academicprogramshavebecomeincreasingly
specialized within our school. They align with the unifying focus and conceptual
framework of the American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences as
well as with that of several otherprofessional organizations such as the American
Dietetic Association, the Council onHotelRestaurantandlnstitutional Education
and the American Apparel Manufacturers Association. The name Human
Environmental Sciences reflects a broad scope of programs, specializations and
professional alignments within the school.

Laboratory heaven

Lab modernization grant provides students a world of opportunities

Einstein. Cuirie. Newton. All help teach in UW-Stout's
physics lab.Those are some names of the 14 new
computers in the recently modernized lab, one of three
physics labs at UW-Stout

With a $90,000 lab modernization grant from Stout,
the physics department was able to update the lab and
make the latest in computer technology available to
students, allowing them to access information worldwide.
The lab has been made more aestheically comfortable as
well with carpeting, lower ceilings and lights to reduce
glare. But 90 percent of the grant went to purchasing top
notchhigh-tech equipment such asmultimediacomputers
with sound cards and CD-ROMS, a color scanner, a
color printer, a ceiling-mounted camera and video
capture capability.

"We can take any video source and 'capture' or
convert it to digital and store it in our computer," Jim
Pejsa explains. These video clips can be used later in
instruction modules. Pejsa, professor of physics, has
been integrally involved in setting up the new lab.

Avideo of abasketball free throw could be "captured"
and saved to use for a physics projectile motion lesson.
It can be viewed in motion or frame by frame.

"\Vc"re excited about it," Pesja says. "It's a very
advanced computing lab, especially as far as our Internet
activity." He notes that the software the lab uses is
highly sophisticated and connects easily to the "World
wide' Web."

"Wo c;in prcn- klc our students with the absolute latest
software available to enable them to access information
worldwide," he says. Computer graphics, color, sound
and animation draw students into an exciting world of
science and technology that few would have dreamed

possible 25 years ago.

The lab is also used to teach other classes within the
department such as astronomy andmeteorology. Students
can get a satellite image of the latest weather maps
anywhere in the world. PejsanotesthatPurdue University
has an excellent weather processor that UW-Stout
students use often.

Curriculum has been designed for the World Wide
Web, and instructors can find teaching modules to use
for students as well.

Lab reports are all done with computers, Pejsa says.
Students should become very familiar with comouter
spreadsheets because they are ubiquitous in the business
world. They are especially adaptable to physics lab
reports.

"More and more is being produced on CDs in
physics," Pejsa says. One CD can contain all the
information from six physics textbooks with lots of
room left over.

Pejsa, who has been in love with computers for 25
years, says he had always wanted to use them for
teaching, but they just weren't powerful enough. "Now
there are all kinds of ways to use them in teaching. We
are doing some amazing things."

An object or a visual aide placed on a table beneath
the ceiling-mounted camera can be viewed by students
on four television screens located strategically in the lab.

Pejsa, who has been teaching for 20 years, says the
new technology makes teaching even more exciting.
"And we are constantly developing new curriculum to
make use of this high technology," he says.

People in the UW-Stout physics department call
their new lab "Laboratory Heaven."

Learning by design

Students collaborate on product design

Two large manufacturers of sporting goods may find
themselves using design ideas from UW-Stout art and
design students.

Industrial design students within the department of
art and design have been involved in a number of
projects in conjunction with well-known national
companies. Two such collaborative projects have been
with Rollerblade Inc., of Minnetonka, Minn., andPUMA
USA. of Brockton, Mass.

Projects like these are one reason so many students
are drawn to the art and design department at UW-Stout.
According to Paul DeLong, art program director, there
are more than 600 students in the program, and there's
a waiting list for some concentrations.

"It is one of the largest undergraduate art programs in
the state," DeLong said. "And it's the only industrial
design program in the whole UW System." DeLong said
that the only other such program is at a private art school.

The project with Rollerblade was initiated by UW-
Stout alumnus Todd Olsen, senior industrial designer at
the company. The endeavor was supported by a small
grant, and the company provided product samples and
informational support. Olsen, a 1983 graduate from
New Ulm, Minn., advised and directed students and
critiqued their work.

Olsen said UW-Stout students gave a diverse, fresh
look to Rollerblade products. "They did an excellent
job," he said. "Our management was impressed."

Benjamin Pratt, instructor of the industrial design
class, said the project was good for students in that "they
saw ways in which the skills they are learning can be
used professionally. And it was great to work with a
company so open to creativity and new ideas."

This was the second time UW-Stout students worked
with PUMA. Last year students worked on ideas for
footwear. This year, juniors in Robert Rabinovitz's

snort or «*■■,

' -sal

industrial design class designed a new
activity and the gear that would go with it, from thi
clothing to the arena.

Rabinovitz said students were innovative
with their ideas for both sports and equipment.
Designs included avirtual reality shoe, shoes
for walking the tracks of roller coasters and
power walking shoes which incorporate j
an elastic band between the hands and J
shoes.

ToddEllis,aUW-Stoutgraduatefrom
Green Bay, is employed as a designer at
PUMA and engineered this collaborative
effort. "We're always looking fornew ^
ideas," he said, "and we wanted input /
from the Midwest. Stout students
generated a lot of new ideas."

"Todd(£/fo)advocatedfortrie ■
selection of his alma mater due to j
its up and coming industrial jj
design program which is Jj
improving every year," said
David Miller, director of
research and design at PUMA.

"The final presentations surpassed
all expectations," Miller said. "A
director of research and design a
PUMA USA, I can assure you that v
definitely try to do this project next y
the following year."

Puma must, in fact, have
been impressed. The company
recruited another UW-Stout
student, David Stender, a
design studentandathlete, after
seeing his work in the program.

Dietetic internship accredited

The university has received developmental accreditation of its dietetic
internship program from the American Dietetic Association's Commis-
sion on Accreditation/Approval for Dietetic Education, a specialized
accrediting body recognized by the Commission on Recognition of
Postsecondary Accreditation and the United States Department of Educa-
tion. The association also recognized the commitment of Anita Pershern,
dietetics program director; and the food and nutrition department, chaired
by Janice Timmer, in support of dietetics education.

The dietetic internship prepares dietetics professionals who are ex-
perts on food and nutrition, and promotes optimal health and nutritional
status of the public. The need for dietetics practitioners is expected to
increase as the role of nutrition in health and the benefits of nutrition
intervention in the prevention and treatment of diseases continues to be
documented.

Proud of our success

I was pleased, but not surprised, that
the Stout University Foundation
recently received, for the second year
in a row, the prestigious Circle of
Excellence award from the Council for
the Advancement and Support of
Education. This national award
underscores the fund-raising success
by the foundation for fiscal year 1993—
94. Many thanks to our alumni and
supporters who helped make this
possible. You can read more about the
award elsewhere in this edition of
Outlook.

We are also proud of a number of
other success stories. Despite severe
budget cuts imposed this year by the
state, we continue to move forward
with innovating and exciting programs.
For example, we recently announced
that we will be getting a Cray
supercomputer through an initial grant
from the state Department of
Development. This will not only
strengthen our research capabilities in
manufacturing engineering and applied
math, but provide an excellent
educational opportunity for our
students as well. Our nationally
recognized technology transfer
program will benefit from this gift by
providing assistance to hundreds of
small to medium sized manufacturing
firms in research and development
efforts. This is yet another excellent
example of a UW-Stout partnership
with the state of Wisconsin, private companies, and atechnical
college to provide excellence in education and service to this
state and nation.

Technology is also assisting our outreach efforts, especially
through growing distance education programs.

You will note that we have changed the name of our
School of Home Economics to the School of Human
Environmental Sciences. This reflects a shift in the home
economics field that has evolved from its original definition.
It also recognizes that we are moving to new disciplines,
rooted in Stout's tradition but changing with the progress of
the times.

We have been busy preparing for Homecoming this fall,
as you can see by the schedule in this edition. I hope you are
planning to pay us a visit, not only to participate in these many
activities, but also to witness first hand the many positive
changes that are taking place at your university.

Operating budget figures released

An operating budget for UW-Stout totaling $77 million was approved
recently by the UW System Board of Regents.

The budget covers the fiscal year beginning July 1 and ending June 30,
1996. Of the total operating budget, fewer than half of the funds come
from state tax dollars. The balance is funded by fees, gifts and grants.

This year' s budget contains $50 million in salaries and fringe benefits
for the university's 967 permanent employees and graduate assistants.
The 1995-96 unclassified compensation plan includes a 1 percent average
increase effective July 1, 1995.

Other items in the budget include $12 million for supplies and
services, $4 million for equipment, and $11 million for campus-based
financial aid and debt service.

Diane Moen, university controller, said a full-time undergraduate
Wisconsin student at UW-Stout will pay approximately $5,177 for
tuition, fees, room and board during the 1995-96 academic year. Moen
said that represents an overall increase of 4.9 percent from last year.
Tuition was increased by 6.5 percent, and fees, room and board increased
approximately 3.9 percent.

The tuition figure includes a 1 percent tuition surcharge for special
technology which will be used to improve student access to items such as
computer workstations, e-mail, software and training.

The approved budget eliminated the sunset date for the instructional
laboratory modernization, general computer access and classroom mod-
ernization programs, and thus continues the annual funding of $430,000.

for the Louis Smith Tainter House. In memory of
Mrs. Wilson, who was an adviser to Marjory's
sorority, the Milnes donated their furnishings

Price Professorship announced

Chancellor Charles W. Sorensen has announced
the establishment of the Maybelle Ranney Price
Endowed Professorship which has been made
possible through Maybelle's generous bequest
of $60,000. In honor of her life and love of
teaching, Sorensen said it was most appropriate
to identify the funds to honor and retain faculty
who represent the best scholarly research,
teaching and community service. The first
Maybelle Ranney Price Professorship will be
awarded in 1996.

The Imaging Technology Team invited John Carafoli, nationally known food stylist and writer, to
campus for a three-day workshop this past June. Styling food is precise work and requires patience
and huge amounts of ingenuity. "This is part of the business, if things go wrong, you've got to correct
them immediately," explained Carafoli to the attendees. He worked with teams of students and
faculty from printing, packaging, art and design, food-related fields and photography. Also attending
the workshop were food stylist professionals from several major food companies.

The Imaging Technology Project, funded by the Foundation, begins its third year of operation
with assignments ranging from concept to completion of menus, posters, packages, training manuals,
and/or table tents for clients. The students work in teams of four with two faculty/staff consultants.
The teams do not receive credit for the projects nor do the consultants receive a salary.

Empowering women of color

Barbara Burdick, coordinator of "Empowering Women of Color" noted that the group celebrated its
first year of activities. Twenty-six American women of color participated in this year's activities.

rates.

Successes have been apparent this year, as several of the women have been elected to positions
ofleadership throughout thecampus including Women in Management, the Stout Student Association
(SSA) and multicultural organizations. Campus and community support has been important and well
received. The Foundation funded the program for 1994 - 1997.

Consider a memorial gift

Gifts to the Stout University Foundation Inc., in
memory of deceased alumni, faculty and friends
are a means of honoring their memories.

How many times have you had to think of an
appropriate gift for a friend or loved one to
celebrate a birthday or anniversary? Several
alumni have found the answer. They donate
funds to the Stout University Foundation Inc.,
in honor of special occasions.

One donor, who wishes to remain anony-
mous, explained "My parents were celebrating
their 55th anniversary. And they said they didn't
need anything and wished to just celebrate with
their friends and family. They said that at their
stage in life they were downsizing. Therefore,
when I told them we were interested in
contributing to the foundation in honor of their
anniversary they were thrilled! In fact, they
shared that idea with most of the relatives, and

The High Mileage Vehicle Competition was funded by the Stout University Foundation three years
ago, and continues. It is organized by the UW-Stout Technology Education Collegiate Association.
Doug Walrath, vice president, coordinated the project and stated "This year's competition was a
resounding success. I am pleased to say that we have received excellent feedback from the students
who competed, their teachers, UW-Stout faculty and TECA members."

Twenty three technology education high school clubs competed in the contest which was held at
the UW-Stout Technology Park the last weekend in April. Winners of the stock division were
Medford High School team members Brian Egle, Dan Lammar and Mandy Clarkson. The New
London High School team won the modified division. Winning team members are eligible for a $250
freshman scholarship to attend UW-Stout. The scholarships are provided by the Stout University
Foundation and the UW-Stout Technology Education Assocation.

Reunion was magic

After a year of planning and preparing for the
two days of activities

Director's
Message

Su?ette F,
Hittner

for the almost 200
returning graduates,
spouses and friends,
another reunion
weekend has come
and gone. What a
great turnout we had.
We missed those of
you who couldn't
make it.

It didn't take long
for returning alumni
to see the changes:
changes in friends and
changes on campus.
Soon after the hugs
and catching up on
news, alumni, spouses and friends toured the
campus.

Conversations with alumni reminded me
of how much the campus, programs and
Menomonie have changed. The building one
alum remembered as the Student Center
may have had totally different meaning for
another. Older alumni remembered taking
courses from faculty whose names now
identify the residence halls that housed the
younger alumni.

After the campus tours, groups were
updated by the deans on the new happenings
within the various programs. For those
fortunate enough to get a ticket to the limited
seating gourmet dinner, the evening ended
with a taste of the work in the Quality Food
Production course taught by Philip McGuirk.

For some alumni, campus housing was
included in reliving their student days.
Saturday programs offered individuals an
opportunity to experience current programs
on campus and to meet current faculty, staff
and students, who enjoyed the opportunity
to meet graduates and hear about their
experiences while at Stout and the life it
prepared them for.

Overall, the weekend was a hit with those
who attended. While talk centered around
Stout's changes, the memories remained the
same. A special thank you to everyone who
participated in Reunion '95.

The UW-Stout Alumni Association thanks
the following faculty and staff for
volunteering their time and expertise to the
programming during the 1995 Reunion
weekend.

The Association extends its appreciation
to the following individuals for their
contributions toward assuring a sustained
intellectual relationship between alumni
and the university.

Landmark Builder's Group, Inc. boasts six Stout grads in its eight-member upper management team

Rice Lake, Wis. Speaking as a Stout graduate himself,
William Tradewell '78 (Industrial Education), President
and CEO of Landmark Builder's Group Inc., says that
the selection of Ms management team was a "carefully
calculated step." When asked why the Landmark
Builder's management group is so heavily laden with
Stout graduates, Tradewell remarked: "The answer is
simple.. .My partner Dann Kann '70 (Vocational
Education) and I knew from our own experience that a
Stout education completely prepares one for entrance
into the job market. Stout grads gain the knowledge and
skills required to perform competently, with a high
degreeofprofessionalism.AStouteducationis thorough
and comprehensive. We were confident that our Stout
employees would perform at the level necessary to raise
our company to its fullest potential. And we were right.
We've grown immensely in the past four years and plan
to maintain that growth rate - with bright prospects for
the future."

And the growth has been obvious. Landmark
Builder's Group Inc. began four years ago with only two
Stout grads in its complement. Tradewell and Kann
targeted their business in the residential construction
market. Projects ranged from home remodeling and
additions to home design and construction. At this time,
the company grossed $250,000 in annual sales. The real
growth began in 1992 when the company became a
Wisconsin corporation. Operations then shifted to a
commercial base.

Today Landmark Builder' s operates as a full-service
construction company. Departments include
Architectural, with specialties in areas such as design/
build and ADA services; Construction Management,
operated by Dave Manske '72 (Industrial Technology -
Construction) and Dave Nyseth '93 (Construction);
Project Estimating, managed by Steve Zemaitis '75
(/7jrfM5ft7"a/rec/z«o/o^);GenerdContracting,managed
by Manske: Personnel and Equipment, managed by
Kann; and Marketing, managed by Mary Johnson
Tradewell '77 (Home Economics in Business).

These departments successfully work together to
provide single point responsibility for the client. Target

Projected gross sales for 1 995 is S8.2 million. Tradewell
and Kann feel that this success rate is due to their
management team — a team whose reputation for
accuracy and professionalism is founded on a solid Stout
education.

When asked about future prospects for Landmark

company moving into the institutional and industrial

markets. Also they plan to become involved in larger

continue this trend - adding additional professionalism
and competency for their customers' satisfaction.

Petersons named
Outstanding Dietetics Educator

Maija Petersons,

Owoiabi committed to mkM education

Petersons

associate professor in
the department of
Consumer Resources
and Technology at
Western Michigan
University, has been
named a recipient of
the Outstanding
Dietetics Educator
Award from the
American Dietetic
Association.

Petersons was one of 35 educators selected
nationwide to receive the honor, which was
presented for the first time at the annual regional
meeting of the Dietetic Educators of Practitioners
April 1 in Sioux Falls, S.D. The organization,
which is affiliated with the American Dietetic
Association, is composed of teachers who
specialize in dietetics instruction.

The award recognizes the teaching, mentoring
and leadership activities of faculty and preceptors
in dietetics education programs accredited and
approved by the American Dietetic Association.
Award winnersmust be members ofthe American
Dietetic Association and demonstrate leadership
in national, state or district dietetic association

activities. Award criteria also included
community service, honors received, scientific
and professional presentations, and articles
published.

Petersons was nominated by a colleague from
Michigan State University and supported by
letters from three WMU students. She received
particular recognition for developing a dietetics
internship program at the university four years
ago. Under the program, eight students who
receive degrees in dietetics each year are sent
through a series of rotations at food service
facilities in area hospitals and clinics to receive
hands-on experience in clinical nutrition,
community nutrition and food service
management.

Petersons also was cited for activities that
included serving as president of the Southwest
Michigan District Dietetic Association. She also
served as treasurer of the Michigan Dietetic
Association, andchairedtheassociation'sbylaws,
policies and procedures committee.

A WMU faculty member since 1977,
Petersons earned a bachelor's degree from the
UW-Stout. She received a master's degree from
the UW-Madison and a doctoral degree from
Ohio State University.

Owoiabi

Although he was born |||j
on a cocoa farm in ^m
Nigeria and didn't
attend school himself
until he was 10 years
old, Isaac Owoiabi is
helping hundreds of
adults in this country
earn their college
degrees.

The UW-Stout
graduate is associate
dean of the School of

Professional and Adult Studies at Montreat-
Anderson College in Montreat, N.C. Before
establishing the Montreat program last year,
Owoiabi headed the adult program at Marian
College in Fond du Lac, Wis., for six years.
Under his leadership, the growth ofboth programs
has been outstanding.

At Marian, enrollment grew from 200 students
to 1,300. In his first year at Montreat, he put
together the curriculum, hired staff and then
managed to attract 280 students to the program.
Degree work is offered primarily to older students
in Charlotte and Asheville who hold regular jobs
during the day. By December 1995, Owoiabi
hopes to have 500 students enrolled and by 1 998 ,
3,000.

Considering what he has accomplished since
his arrival in this country in January 1983, his
goal is realistic.

After encouragement and financial support
from his paternal grandmother in Nigeria,
Owoiabi left the farm for school. He became a
math and physics teacher. At Stout, he earned an
undergraduate degree in marketing education in
1984 and a master's degree later that same year
in vocational education.

With meager support from his family back in
Africa, but with a wealth of encouragement from
his friends here, Owoiabi struck out for the
University of Minnesota where he hoped to gain
a doctorate in marketing education. He achieved
that goal in 1987. After one year as an instructor
at a Florida junior college, Owoiabi took the
position at Marian.

Owoiabi is committed to adult education.
"Most adults entering our program are doing itto
remain competitive in their jobs. While the
traditional student views higher education to be
the next step in life, the adult student looks at a
college degree as a marketable commodity."

Owoiabi and his wife, Abigail, have four
children. Not surprisingly, she has earned a degree
in social work since joining him in this country in
1985. Owoiabi is a member of the UW-Stout
Alumni Board.

Spring season has more ups than clowns

Layne Pitt Sports Information Director

As the old sports adage goes, "you win some and
you lose some," and the UW-Stout spring sports
teams won more than they lost in 1995.

The softball team had one of the biggest
reasons to smile. In only their fourth year of
varsity existence, the squad finished second in
the Wisconsin Women's Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference (WWIAC) and posted a best-ever 34-
17 record.

Suzanne Brion (Soph., Cameron, Wis.) led
the team both at the plate and on the field. A
shortstop, Brion led the team in batting average
(.464), stolen bases (36-for-39) and received the
team's Golden Glove Award (.947 fielding
average).

Brion was a second team selection to the
National Softball Coaches' Association All-
America team.

Joining Brion on the WWIAC West Division
first team were catcher JoJoSchwebach(5opA.,
Elmwood, Wis.), outfielder Missy Boyd (Sr.,
Charles City, Iowa), and pitcher Karen Lien
(Sr. , Elmwood, Wis.).

Lien concludedherfouryearcareerby holding

wmsfyz-fc- ■ - '•- • Mr

every majorpitchingrecordwiththeBlue Devils.
She finished the 1995 season with a 24-9 record
and a 2.03 ERA.

Boyd, a junior college transfer, was a GTE/
CoSDDA District V Academic All-America
selection.

The cupboard will not be bare next season for
WWIAC Coach of the Year Cyndi Raymond.
Boyd and Lien are the only seniors.

The baseball team experienced the opposite
of the softball squad — their first losing season
since 1981. The Blue Devils, fielding an almost
entirely freshmen squad, finished at 14-20-1.

Errors plagued Stout from beginning to end
as the Blue Devils finished 7-9 in the Northern
Division, good for third.

Catcher Greg Osterhaus (Sr., Prairie du
Chien, Wis.) was named to his fourth straight
Wisconsin State University Conference (WSUC)
team. Despite a lower than average - average for
Osterhaus — year at the plate (354, 40-for-113),
Osterhaus broke a five-year-old career home run
record when he plated his 30th career home run.
John Filas held the former mark of 29.

Outfielder Matt Anderson (Sr., Westby, Wis.)

mm

1. Karen Lien earned all-conference honors
by pitching her way to a 24-9 overall
record.

2. Shortstop Suzanne Brion was named as
a second team All-America selection.

3. Senior Erin Washut came up tenths of a
second short of qualifyingto the national
track and field championships in the
hurdles.

4. Matt Anderson led the Blue Devils at
the plate with a .414 batting average.

5. Terry Anders crosses the finish line in
the 4 X 400-meter relay at the WSUC
track and field meet. Anders is the 400-
meter outdoor and indoor national
champion.

and designated hitter Mike Jaje (Sr., Bryant,
Wis.) were also first team selections and both
worked their way into the Stout record book.

Anderson, the team's hitting leader (.414),
set a career mark in triples, finishing with eight,
while Jaje tied a season doubles record with 16.

Anderson and Osterhaus were selected to the
NCAA Division HI All-Midwest Region second
team.

Honorable mention selections were outfielder
Jesse Ison (Jr., Escanaba, Mich.) and pitcher
Brian Day (Soph., Stillwater, Minn.).

Terry Anders (Soph., Cornell, Wis.)
dominated the conference track season. At the
WSUC meet, Anders, the indoor 400-meter
national champion, won the 200- and 400-meter
dashes in school record time, finished third in the
100 and anchored the winning 4 X 400-meter
relay and the second place 4 X 100-meter relay.
He was named the WSUC track athlete of the
year.

Anders qualified to the national meet in all five
events and matched his 400 indoor title by taking
the outdoor version in a school record time of
47.93 . Anders was also third in the 200-meter. The

Blue Devils finished tenth at the national meet.

Also qualifying to the national meet were
relay members Jesse Witcraft (Soph., New
Lisbon, Wis.), Mike Hallingstad (Soph., Sparta,
Wis.) and Chris Valois (Fr., Anoka, Minn.), pole
vaulters Aaron Fruit (Soph., Hartland, Wis.)
and Tim Johnson (Sr. , Janesville, Minn .), discus
thrower Keith Blake (Sr., Seymour, Wis.) and
Witcraft in the 200-meter and Hallingstad in the
400-meter.

Fruit set a school pole vault record (15-feet-
9.75) to qualify for nationals and a week later,
Johnson went the same height. Johnson captured
All-America honors by finishing sixth (15-4).

The men's team was third at the WSUC meet.

The groundwork has been started for first-
year women's track coach Carla "Yogi" Weigel,
and while no women qualified nationally, Weigel
took comfort in the season.

The women placed seventh at the WWIAC
meet where Weigel got solid performances from
Lisa Lind wall (Jr. , Madison, Wis.) in the 1 0,000
(fourth) and Erin Washut (Sr., Buffalo, Wyo.)
with a second in the 400-hurdles. Washut missed
the national qualifying time by tenths of a second.
